Rokas Baciuska is leaving ESMotorsport
“We were forced to cut the relationship with the team. My hopes to make Lithuanian motorsport history was broken into the intrigues inside the team. Do not listen what others say. The truth is simple. At the moment we are looking for the team to continue participation in World RX and who could give me possibility to fight for the highest positions. Sometimes we must step back to be able to jump forward. This is the situation.” – Rokas Baciuska
